what's the story behind that?
what's her connection with the shelter?
You'd think it would say.

JP Joule, after who the unit of energy was named in recognition of his good work.
The quotation at the top of his memorial makes him sound like a victorian workaholic.
I do hope he had some time for some simple pleasures while on this planet.
Sale cemetery.
It's just off the Bridgewater canal cycle route - stopped there to check my tyres after a disgraceful amount of glass on the Roe Green loop line.

Posted this on the "something different" one; didn't realise this thread was here. A memorial on the Ridgeway near Gore Hill, text reads:
I sat and had a beer with him, watching the sunset. I've ridden past this countless times and only recently have I actually seen it and stopped to take it in. I might pop up there next week on the anniversary, assuming I'll be allowed out.

Since we visited Ieper with the Flanders Fields museum & the Menin gate, I tend to stop when I see a Commonwealth War Graves sign.
A moment to reflect & respect: this was All Saints at Graveney, Kent.

Out today on a regular loop, passing this little known & moving memorial in a Kentish farmhouse garden: a Battle of Britain pilot killed in action here.
